NI-DAQmx 18.0

 NI-DAQmx driver software goes far beyond a basic data acquisition driver to deliver increased productivity and performance in DAQ and control application development. It controls every aspect of your DAQ system (including NI signal conditioning devices), from configuration to programming in LabVIEW to low-level OS and device control. Quickly gather real-world data with measurement-ready virtual channels and the DAQ Assistant. Build your applications with measurement-specific VIs, functions, data types, and analysis integrations. Reliably get your measurements faster with optimized DMA data transfer and single-point I/O. NI-DAQmx works with LabVIEW, DAQExpress™, LabWindows/CVI, C/C++, Visual Basic, Visual Basic .NET, and C#. Along with LabVIEW, NI-DAQmx is one of the principal reasons NI is a leader in virtual instrumentation and PC-based DAQ.

About NI LabView. LabVIEW (Laboratory Virtual Instrument Engineering Workbench) is a graphical programming language that uses icons instead of lines of text to create applications. In contrast to text-based programming languages that use instructions to determine the order of program execution, LabVIEW uses dataflow programming. In data flow programming, the flow of data through the nodes on the block diagram determines the execution order of the VIs and functions. VIs, or virtual instruments, are LabVIEW programs that imitate physical instruments.

In LabVIEW, you build a user interface by using a set of tools and objects. The user interface is known as the front panel. After you build the front panel, you add code using graphical representations of functions to control the front panel objects. You add this graphical code, also known as G code or block diagram code, to the block diagram. The block diagram somewhat resembles a flowchart. The block diagram, front panel, and graphical representations of code compose a VI.
